Yesterday I dug down in a couple blank furrows near our house to see what was going on under the soil. My suspicion were confirmed when I found several what plants that have curled and crimped because a crust formed on the soil after the rain last week. We only had a third of an inch, but it was enough to cause trouble.
There are places in the field where the wheat is not going to germinate at all, due to the drought, but it's heartbreaking to see the tiny plants that did have enough moisture, struggle and then lose the effort to make it to sunlight.
